americans do not like to see people attacked because of religion. we are proud of ourselves for being in an inclusive and diverse country. we are a country that a strong enough to include different forms of religion and it would have been a political mistake to take that on, so i'm not surprised. will republicans conclude they would have done better with a candid it did not wait until he was in the primary to announce he was severely conservative? for example, i first met romney when he was a moderate pro- choice governor of massachusetts. since then, he has made more you turned down a boston cabdriver. -- more u-turns than a cab driver. the can make more correlations in the kind of voting support he got. if republicans decide what they really need to do is go back and do it even more conservative again, far be it from me to try to persuade them otherwise. we have another election in four years. >> on the question of religion, i agree iblaise and ann. people who say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate because they were anymore menem, t

many schools are afraid to invite speakers in to talk about any religion, but particularly islam, there's not always a clear understanding to what the first amendment guarantees, which is the right to teach about a religion but not proselytize about it. i think there's fear of associating with anyone associated with islam. there are events outside our control that creates more interest and unfortunately also makes people more afraid. one of the programs we are about to launch is putting all our content online so a teacher in north dakota where there are no muslim, potentially, no expert can come to her classroom, they can go to our web site and download the content and teach the things we are teaching. >> i think partnerships are the best way to overcome the limitations because we all have limitations. and sometimes it's just visibility. we actually have on our web site 50 short films and one of them is a muslim student from a school in fremont going to a school in arinda talking about what it's like going to school as a muslim in the united states and they are asking questions and you se
